its the beauty of the game :) I mean its literally just pieces on a board which we could play easily on our own terms, but being able to see masters in their crafts go to war for a win is different. Casuals wont see the fierceness in competition but those invested in the sport will always get satisfaction seeing David vs Goliath battle it out... And i rather have my rivals argue it out rather than everyone being friendly about it. I cant enjoy winning a chess game against someone who is a good sport as much as someone who is totally invested in the game. thats the beauty in any rivalries, no matter the profession.

I was watching Hikaru's stream this TT when he played Eric. Hikaru was so blown when he realized he had to play Eric towards the end. And sure enough Eric played a masterful game. It really shows you that even the great Hikaru respects and fears Eric's chess skills. And that says *alot*

Ur face when u get angry so funny yesterday I laughed so hard at ur rage videos 🤣🤣😂 Love u eric

It was 5 a.m. when Hikaru regained consciousness. When he came to, he immediately stormed towards Eric's room. Bystanders stared at him as he brushed past them in the hall, some of them smirking to themselves as they had an inkling that a second round was about to commence. But Hikaru was a changed man. Despite the deathly gaze on his face as he made his way to Eric's room, he was a man of love, not war. When he got to Eric's room, he found the door unlocked and Eric alone inside, asleep. He chuckled at Eric's carelessness, but as he pushed the door shut behind him, his heart was racing. He quietly got onto Eric's bed and straddled him, taking joy in topping the man that had made him submit just hours earlier. He began caressing Eric's face as Eric was slowly waking up from the disturbance. When Eric had fully awoken, he was greeted by the sight of Hikaru on top of him, and his face in Hikaru's hands. "I love you," Hikaru said softly as he leaned in and kissed Eric.
